Episodes

February 16, 2015

Precipitation that initially began as a mixture of rain and sleet transitioned to freezing rain as temperatures cooled to freezing and below across the Georgia Piedmont. Freezing rain continued through the afternoon and evening, with accumulations primarily confined to elevated surfaces, including trees and power lines. Damaging ice accumulations were reported by late evening. Widespread ice accretion of one quarter to one half inch was reported, resulting in many trees and power lines falling and numerous to widespread power outages.

December 15, 2005

Ice accretion began to cause damage across northeast Georgia just prior to sunrise. By late morning, the ice storm had become quite serious, as thousands of trees fell across the area, and power outages were widespread. Numerous trees and large limbs fell on and damaged homes and vehicles. In some areas, it took as much as 5 days to restore electricity. Despite the devastation, road problems were few and far between, as temperatures hovered right around freezing for most of the event.

December 15, 2005

Light freezing rain developed around midnight across northeast Georgia, and gradually intensified overnight. By around sunrise, up to one quarter inch of ice accretion had occurred across much of the area. A few trees and sporadic power outages occurred during this time, but became much more widespread after sunrise.

September 16, 2004

High winds developed during mid-evening across portions of the piedmont of northeast Georgia, as the remnants of Ivan passed to the west of the area. Numerous trees and power lines were blown down.

July 23, 2000
